Le Pen's party (RN) got 143 seats. While a record, that's far (very far) from the 289 they hoped for to govern. How?! Hundreds of Left & Macronist candidates dropped out to help each other block the RN. And millions of voters then voted strategically to get that job done.

We're very saddened to hear about the passing of Jane McAlevey, a true legend in labor organizing. May her memory be a blessing. Her lessons certainly are.

The governors of these states - including the supposedly "reasonable Republicans" like Governor Kemp are deliberately committing "slow violence"

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Over at Linked-In, many anti-regulatory types are salivating at the increasing prospects of a 2nd Trump administration. The hell with worrying about fascism - they want it, as it will increase clients' profits and their $ tremendously. Here is just one e.g., a leading attorney from Ballard-Spahr:

Congrats to all the profs at elite law schools who loudly vouched for John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch when they were nominated. Hope you placed your students in some nice clerkships.

The Circuit Court ruled that Trump is not immune from persecution in Feb 2024. SCOTUS could have just declined to touch that. Instead they waited five months to say "Trump is immune on some things, not others, y'all should figure out which," and it's very clear what they're doing

“A former president is entitled to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his ‘conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority,’ ” the 6-3 ruling says. “There is no immunity for unofficial acts.” Read the full decision here:

Not making any threats here, just thinking out loud as a historian — do they people brazenly pushing for impunity for the wealthy elites not know what traditionally comes next?

the combination of Ohio, Chevron, and Jarkesy is to tell the extraordinarily rich “there’s no one who can hold you accountable for anything if you can afford a lawsuit”

So far, season 3 of The Bear is mixed IMO. But episode 6, directed by Ayo Edebiri, is very good.

Maybe it’s just me but I think it’s sort of pandering when The Bear casts the Illinois Governor in the show.

On one hand it's nice that Michael Powell is no longer hiding the fact that he's a tedious reactionary. On the other, it's not ideal that one of the nation's most prestigious 'liberal' magazines now almost exclusively employs tedious reactionaries. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The publisher of Atlanta Journal-Constitution with some batshit crazy stuff. Where is paper's call for Trump to step down due to being an utterly corrupt, convicted felon and found to be a rapist in a civil trial? Just absolute bonkers stuff here. This guy has made the paper an absolute joke.

The demise of Chevron is being widely interpreted as an expansion of judicial power. It is that, but it also and more profoundly an expansion of power of moneyed interests. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-money-...

Long after the debate is forgotten, the 6-3 decisions overruling Chevron via Loper Bright and Jarksey will have fundamentally weakened the ability of the American government to function against the most powerful interests in society.

Same, but for me it’s areas of community reinvestment, fair lending, and the like. For me it’s decades. Gutting Chevron is soul-crushing.

i have dedicated YEARS of my career to build public health policy and law capacity in federal agencies. watching john roberts pretend like those experts do not exist is soul-killing stuff for me

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court is like “you are now free to overthrow the government we just put ourselves in charge of.”

Sigh. Our future it seems.

Chevron, Shmevron, the future that SCOTUS wants...

I trust many folks know that many Democratic (and Republican) state and local politicians are happy with SCOTUS’ decision on Grants Pass, ie, happy to be able to criminalize homelessness.
